Yanagi ZZZ Drive Discs
The choice of Drive Discs for Yanagi (Tsukishiro Yanagi) in Zenless Zone Zero largely depends on balancing raw damage output with her unique Anomaly and Polarity Disorder mechanics.
| Category | Recommended Drive Disc Set Combination |
| Recommended Hybrid Set | 4-Piece Thunder Metal + 2-Piece Chaos Jazz <br> <br> Thunder Metal (4-Piece): <br> – 2-Piece Effect: Electric DMG +10% <br> – 4-Piece Effect: While enemies are Shocked, the equipper’s ATK increases by 28%. <br> <br> Chaos Jazz (2-Piece): <br> – 2-Piece Effect: Anomaly Proficiency +30 <br> <br> Why this set? This combination is highly effective for Yanagi. She constantly applies Shock to enemies, maximizing the uptime on Thunder Metal’s significant ATK boost, which directly scales her damage. Simultaneously, the Chaos Jazz 2-piece effect provides a crucial boost to her Anomaly Proficiency, directly enhancing her Polarity Disorder output. This balance allows for both strong personal damage and amplified DoT. |
| Alternative Anomaly Set | 4-Piece Chaos Jazz + 2-Piece Freedom Blues <br> <br> Chaos Jazz (4-Piece): <br> – 2-Piece Effect: Anomaly Proficiency +30 <br> – 4-Piece Effect: Fire DMG and Electric DMG increase by 15%.

When switching on-field, this buff continues for 5s (can trigger once every 7.5s). <br> <br> Freedom Blues (2-Piece): <br> – 2-Piece Effect: Anomaly Proficiency +30 <br> <br> Why this set? This combination works well for general Anomaly builds and prioritizes sustained Disorder scaling over raw ATK boosts. The combined +60 Anomaly Proficiency from both sets ensures her Disorder damage is maximized. The 4-piece Chaos Jazz also provides a direct Electric DMG bonus and can benefit her EX Special Attacks. |

| Slot 5 | Electric DMG Bonus | Directly increases all of Yanagi’s Electric-type damage, including her skills, attacks, and Anomaly damage. This provides a significant overall damage boost. |
